Abstract
A method of generating random and pseudo-random material which is incorporated in devices located at each end of a communications network for secure communications through a channel of the network. The material is used to generate time based one-time pads, one-time keys, and the keys themselves. The one-time pads, one-time keys, and the keys support a key-based or pad based cryptographic technique employed to produce secure communications of messages transmitted through the channel with a one-time pad, one-time key, or a key generated at one interval of time being different and unique from a one-time pad, one-time key, or a key generated at any other interval of time.
